May 17th, 2010 -- Upper Darby, PA -- Many people think of Memorial Day Weekend as just another weekend that represents “partying to excesses”. Others know it for its true meaning, which is being the pre-curser to Memorial Day, a time when we honor the brave men & women of the US Armed Forces who made the ultimate sacrifice so that the global community could enjoy priceless freedom. For The Asian Karaoke Idol Invitational, it represents the perfect way to kick off academic vacations & the summer season with the coming of our 9th season! TAKII 9 ~Yume Ga Kanau (Dreams Come True)~ touches down in Philly, PA at The Rotunda on May 29th-30th, 2010.

As any fan of “the world’s most extreme Asian culture fusion festival” would know, with each season comes a new theme. The theme for TAKII 9 is “appreciating dreams that have & will come true” for its fans, supporters, & Asian culture enthusiasts worldwide.
